good answer to those who say that a town needs open saloons in order to make
its business thrive. Persons who observe the effects of dispensaries or prohibi

never had an open liquor saloon and it is one of the most prosperous towns in
the State. Gastonia is a prohibition town and it has perhaps outclassed all
other towns in the State in general development for the past ten years. In the

zales should not concern the New York World any more than any other citizens
of the country ; and its proposition to raise a fund to assist in the prosecution of
the case is a reflection upon the prosecuting officers of the law and the courts
in South Carolina. While it may be that the murderer of Editor Gonzales will
go without severe punishment and this seems to be the prevailing opinion-
yet South Carolina should be left to work out the case and bear the praise or
the opprobrium due the result of the prosecution. The New York World can
do South Carolina and Editor Gonzales' friends better service by leaving the

of the South. In this report no mention is made of the cotton crop, of sweet

What is most sadly needed in tte
curriculum of all our schools is a course
in courtesy, and It should be begun in
the kindergarten and extended through
the senior year at college. It is im
possible to tell In which class it is
most important. Well-bred men and
women are almost invariably those
who had politeness taught them with
their alphabets, and the early training
is absolutely essential for perfect ease
and grace of bearing, but it is equally
as necessary that the training should
be kept up. Many a careful mother
who has enjoyed the great satisfaction
of seeing her son grow up under her
watchful eye int(. the semblance of a
thorough gentleman has had all her
fond illusions dispelled when this same
son bas returned home after a four
years' absence at college, exhibiting
manners not only inelegant, but posi
tively boorish in their selfish indiffer
ence to other people's feelings and his
own self-respect. Education is pro
gressing along most lines, but in this
especial direction It seems to be going
backward, for deportment was one of
the branches taught when our grand
parents went to school, and until de
portment is taught again we can never
hope to have modern society adorned
with the flowers of courtesy that made
social intercourse a fine art in the cen
turies gone by.

"When I was a young chap," said
Major Charles Dick, who intends to be

Governor in Onio if he can, "I got a
lesson that has kept me humble ever
since. I was studying law in an office,

was getting nothing for my time ex

the lawyers in the office and to try a
few minor cases in the petty courts.
